  2/18/2021 - The Drunken Cyclist Likes this wine: 91 Points

  Retail $60. Another wine left over from the Third Annual Blind Tasting of American Pinot Noir and another wine that has benefitted both from the extra time in bottle and some additional time open with this bottle. Fairly dark in the glass in both color and aromas with black cherry, forrest floor, and a bit of spice. Lovely. The palate is both fruity (tons of cherry) and balanced (the acidity is lively and present throughout) with a touch of soft tannins sneaking in on the finish. While I liked this wine during the tasting, it seems to be showing better today (particularly with a bit of time open).
